Abstract	Signification temperature differences were found to exist among three similarly situated stations in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon. The stations were McMinnville, Salem, and Corvallis. Factors known to influence temperatures were compared with the temperature differences of the stations using available weather data. Factors examined included elevation, latitude, cloud cover, precipitation, heat islands, slope, aspect, ground cover, surrounding terrain, cold air drainages, and obstructions to air flow. No one single factor fully explained the temperature differences among the three stations.
